A hot air balloon holds 7.40 x 107 liters of gas. In order for the hot air balloon to rise into the sky, it must be heated to 120°C. Once the balloon is up in the air, the air needs to be cooled in order for the balloon to land. If the temperature of the balloon is decreased to 40.0°C, what will the new volume of the gas be? Show all work.

Please solve both subparts of the question below: Large helium-filled balloons are used to lift scientific equipment to high altitudes. a) What is the pressure, in atmospheres, inside such a balloon if it starts out at sea level with a pressure of one atmosphere and a temperature of 10.0°C and rises to an altitude where its volume is twenty times the original volume and its temperature is - 49.5°C ? b) What is the gauge pressure, in atmospheres, in the balloon then? (Assume the atmospheric pressure is constant.)
A thermos bottle with a piston instead of a lid contains a fixed amount of gas. Because it is a thermos bottle, no heat can enter or leave the bottle. The piston is then pushed in, compressing the gas. Does the pressure of the gas increase, decrease, or stay the same? Does the temperature of the gas increase, decrease, or stay the same? Describe the behavior of the molecules of gas during the compression and support your answers to (a) and (b) with an explanation in terms of their behavior. Are there any other properties of the gas that change?
